Star Wars: The Old Republic<\/i> shares a lot in common with World of Warcraft, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Like WoW<\/i>, The Old Republic<\/i> has all the standard features of a massively multiplayer game: quests, leveling up your character, and killing all manner of baddies. Even SW:TOR<\/i>‘s interface looks a lot like WoW<\/i>‘s. But despite all its similarities with its predecessor, SW:TOR<\/i> is quite compelling. BioWare has polished the game’s narrative to a high sheen, creating an emotional connection to the storyline that I never really developed with WoW<\/i>. So far, I’ve rolled a Smuggler and a Sith Inquisitor and I’m having a blast playing through both storylines. Playing through all the game’s content will probably require hundreds of hours.<\/p>\n
I can play the game without much trouble using just the mouse and on-screen keyboard. It would be nice if the interface allowed for additional customization, but that will probably come in time. The graphics and sound are top-notch, as is the voice-acting. SW:TOR<\/i> has earned my subscription dollar, at least until I run out of things to do in the game universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
